Just curious of the physics behind this.
Floating ice, it seems to me, would displace water in proportion to it's own (total) volume. So how do we get an increased sea level?
The ice is less dense than liquid water, so part of the ice sticks above the water, but isn't the water volume of the ice the same as the water it displaces?


Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.
